The 09 models come with a "parade" mode which causes the rear cyclinder to quit firing when idling in traffic etc to combat over heating. You should be able to kick it on by rolling the throttle grip FORWARD for 5 to 10 seconds. Have you changed the pipes or air filter? If you have and never had the EFI adjusted (either factory download or fuel tuner installed) your bike could be running extra rich causing the over heating and eventual engine destruction. New Harleys run rich from the factory, any changes to the intake/exhaust system without proper fuel injection management will cause overheating. Try getting your bike into parade mode by rolling the throttle forward to the stops for a few seconds, that will cool things down.

I have a 2007 street glid eand have been through 2 sets of fairing brackets. it started with around 500 miles on the bike. very bad design, I had the factory bracket reinforced and problem solved. My old mans bike, same problem. Check the fairing brackets,

would that be something to do with the immobilizer ?
i have no experience with the mentioned bike , but thats what it sounds like to me , did you read up on how to chage the batteries on the key fob? as some have certain ways to change it and not just simple swap , some have to be put back in ingnition within so many seconds , some need the battery swapped in under x seconds also

Check the regulator. It sounds as if it has packed in, when the engine is at idle the alternator output is low, but when revved it will be higher, the regulator controls the top end of the voltage range. Also check the battery connections are tight and free from corrosion.

If your bike is fuel injected, this is typical. What is happening is the fast idle is keeping your engine running until you blip the trottle. When you do this, the fast idle relaeses the idle speed control. Once the engine gets to full operating temp, the idle speed is correct.

If you can lower the idle with the grip than it appears the return spring isn't working right or its missing. If you have an injector fueling when it is not supposed to be, that needs to be addressed before you ruin the rings and brgs. or get squished. I'm looking at it being a bad return spring. It should go to idle on it's own when you let go the grip.. Good Luck and ride safely. Ned

Possible cause is a crack in the fuel filter shell which is installed inside the fuel tank. Harley has a recall for affected models. Post your VIN number or go to your local dealer and ask him is there a recall for your bike. All he will need is the VIN number and any recalls will be done under warranty. By the way, not sure of the year of your bike but it may still be under warranty anyway. Other than that there could be a TP sensor fault.
